Default Weather Radio Robots...

...should be shot.

Went out yesterday with three buddies, soon as we cleared the jetty, a
strong north wind blew up. A few minutes later, we were rocking and
rolling in breaking four to six footers. Took one over the bow, the first
time ever in the Parker. Water rolled right up to the pilot house bow
windows, and up and over the cabin top. Scared the crap out of the two
guys in the cockpit. Wish I had that on instant replay!

While all this was going on, the WX robot was telling us of one to two
footers in our area.

Right.


I never listen to them anymore except for weather alerts. We about a mile
from the Lake so I normally go down and check it myself, despite what the
weather radio or paper says as most of the time they are wrong.
